Grade Calculator

Some professors do not properly configure the Canvas grade percentages based on their syllabus. Instead, they opt to use Excel to calculate the final grades after everything. It can be hard to estimate how much effort I should allocate for those classes without making an Excel file.

So I wrote this to quickly configure a calculator to see what I will end up getting in a class based on how much effort I put in.
